The Body-Perfect? Not Us!

What's perfect?
Return to DiscussionsI have been a nudist for a long time. However, things changed after my open heart surgery. I no longer seemed to have the same body. I gained weight. Got a scar the length of my chest.
It's been a struggle accepting this new body and scars. It wasn't easy to look in the mirror and see the changes. It still isn't. I got man boobs from the pre surgery steroids.
Now I don't go truly naked. I usually "Donald Duck" it. Wearing a t-shirt gives me the confidence to be naked. It's funny. I don't care about some one seeing my dick, but do care if they see the scars. The questions about my scars make it difficult not to feel embarrassed.
Am I perfect? No.
Am I ok with not having that perfect body? No, but I get better everyday. I am thankful to be alive and know that my scars are my history and my present.
Self acceptance is never easy.
I'm a summation of a lot of imperfections which make me the PERFECT WHOLE! What would you say to two tiny extra nipples from birth/ Add to that a scar right down my back from an operation for a slipped disc. Another unsightly scar on my left ankle for a twice torn Achilles tendon and one more on my hand from surgery on a fractured radius and ulna. And now a scarred navel from a stud that didn't go well with my sensitive skin! I don't bother about these things and therefore no one actually notices or comments. :)Its one's whole persona that attracts attention and not just bits and pieces!
Like beauty -- it's in the eye of the beholder.
I get lots of compliments about my body. I just see an old fat guy. I'm not ashamed. I accept my body as it is -- though I'd like there to be less belly. But I don't see anything all that attractive about it. I do have all my parts and pieces. But I certainly no GQ man.
The point is, there are people who think I have a great body. I think they're nuts, but it is in the eye of the beholder.
